Competition Safe Remedies for you and your Horse
by Fiona Lane June 19, 2024
When we tell people our Mud & Rain remedy, supports a natural immune response that helps with healing Mud Fever / Greasy Heel, Rain Scald or Mud Rash from the inside out, they're often sceptical. After all, how can an oral remedy that’s given on feed or a treat, or added to the water trough help? And does it really mean no more messy creams, bandages or scraping scabs?
We know it sounds too easy, so we’ll let our customers do the talking by sharing just a few of the testimonials and before & after photos we get from owners impressed with the no sting, no mess and no stress alternative our remedy offers.
Just a warning, that you may find some of the before photos distressing. We know we did, however it’s hard to show you the results our customers have experienced without including them.
"My three-year-old TB came to me with rain scald on all four of his white socks and voila, after three months he has gorgeous wee white legs that look nothing like they did in Jan!
"At first they appeared to be like "burns" and we opted for the "photo sensitivity tonic". With great success after around 8 weeks, the burns around the heel bulb subsided, and we were left with the rain scald on the sides of his legs. I was absolutely stoked!
"We then moved onto "Mud and Rain" where slowly his scabs dried up, dropped off and revealed healthy skin with fabulous hair growth underneath!
"I'm happy to say now, we have just a few scabs left to drop, then we will go down to the maintenance dose! Whoop whoop...
“Thanks to your fabulous remedies, my three-year-old had such a lovely experience cleaning up his rain scald, that was so non-invasive. When we give the horses the “tools” their bodies need, they can heal on their own, right? I had absolutely no doubts in your products from the start, but looking back at the pictures, it’s easy to forget where we came from! Thanks HEAPS team!”
Savannah S & Zach
“It was absolutely fantastic. I had been dealing with a vet until my barefoot farrier told me about your product. It took no time before it started working. Thank you so much for this product I actually orally sprayed into his mouth.”

“Amaaaaaazing!!!! I was skeptical at first, however I read online about heaps of people recommending this product. Our pony had a very bad mud rash on her nose and was refusing to let us apply creams on her face so this was our last ditch effort. Two weeks later and it was all cleared up with no distress to her at all. The scabs were just falling out on their own. I HIGHLY recommend this product and will be sticking with this from now on.”
Julia G & Birdie
“Thank you!!!!!! NuNu has gone from three-legged lam with a hot swollen, scabby leg that EVERYTHING I tried just made worse, to sound, happy and scab free after 3 weeks. Scabs are just falling off. It must also taste pretty darn good too as he is the worst to get stuff in his mouth, and he literally snatches the bottles trying to get more! I’ll admit I was a bit skeptical but I’m very impressed and very happy!! Thanks!!”
Leanne J & NuNu
“My 28-year-old mare has had Mud Fever for at least 4 years, and I have literally spent thousands of dollars on treatments both oral and topical but it never quite goes away and then it’s back with a vengeance. She’s been on Mud & Rain now for about 10 weeks and you can see the massive improvement. I’m so excited.”

“Best product on the market”
“Over the years I have tried and tested all product son the market to get rid of Mud Fever or even prevent it however nothing worked. I then discovered Hippo Health and it’s an absolute game changer! Not only does it heal but also helps prevent.” Gina S
“Working extra well”
“This product cleared up a persistent problem, last spring. It was so easy after the usual difficulties of washing and bandaging twice a day. After a dry summer, a maintenance dose was started at the first sign of the conditions that would have brought the condition back on in the past. So far so good. The saving on the bandages pays for the Mud & Rain.” Richard E
“Fantastic product”
“My 26 year old horse has chronic Mud Fever all year round. This product has worked wonders. His Mud Fever has improved dramatically. No more messy creams, harsh shampoos and pulling of scabs.” Deb C
“Life Changer”
“My youngster has struggled with Mud Fever since a yearling and had become extremely sensitive about touching his hind legs to put cream on so the way I can just put some Hippo Health in his feed is a life changer. It completely cleared up his Mud Fever in a couple of weeks and it has made it so now he isn’t sore and isn’t worrying about being sore. So now I can go back to being able to pick out hooves again safely. I would completely recommend it to anyone who is looking into it. It’s so easy and helpful. Thank you.” Jayden W
“Amazing Product”
“I have had success with this product on 2 horses now with white socks & Mud Fever. Helped clear it up and then prevents it coming back. It reeally is too good to be true but absolutely works! I was sceptical but totally desparate as nothing else had worked and this was a last resort. It’s easy to use over the tongue with the pump pack and the horse doesn’t mind the taste. I am in Australia and the product arrived 3 days from time of order.” Karen M
“Mud & Rain 5 Star”
”Absolutely the best product for mud rash I have ever seen in 45 years with horses. I tmakes the skin silky and smooth and the mud clusters fall off amazing better faster than anything the vet could give you”. Anita H
“Excellent product”
Amazing Louis Mud Fever has almost gone after years of trying different products.” Catherine M
“Highly recommend”
“We’ve had continual rain and mud this summer/autumn, and as a result 2 ponies had developed mud fever/greasy heel. Following a friend’s strong recommendation to try this product, we decided to give it a go. We followed the directions and within 2 weeks both ponies were clear of greasy heel/mud fever and are definitely much happier. The extraordinary wet season shas continued, both pones are out in the paddock and the problem has not recurred. Best product I’ve used for mud fever/greasy heel!” Karen G
“Fantastic product”
“I took on a little filly with bad rain scald along her back. I gave her half a capful twice daily on her feed and her skin healed beautifully. Super easy to use.” Michelle H
